When we meet again, will it be the right time for us then?
How far does it bend, this dumbass will I got to ride it out
Like a winter, this woe without end?
I just want respect
I just crave your sex, yes
I just need your time
Let me get through to you -
If you let me get through to you
I think you'd come to like the things I say and do
And if I'm giving something you want to get
Why don't you take it, babe?
From buying all your bullshit,
I'm working up a regular debt
And if you do, do, do,
Then suddenly, you don't
(I don't got time for that shit, baby)
When you say you will,
Then you act like you won't
Are you really mad that I called you out like that?
Ya basic, ya extra,
Ya socially and emotionally unavailable piece of shit
See I can spit some truth if you want me to
No, we can't be friends but I could be your boo
Now you better stand back, honey, before I lay my hands on you
I can't even say the things I feel
'Cause I know, I know, I know you ain't ready to receive them, baby
(Wordless) --
And if I'm giving something you want to get
Why don't you take it, babe?
From buying all your bullshit,
I'm working up a regular debt
And if you do, do, do,
Then suddenly, you don't
(I don't got time for that shit, baby)
When you say you will,
Then you act like you won't
You won't go away
You won't go away
Call me, baby, once a week, just call me
I don't ask for much, just consistency
The truth is I think about you more than you think about me
Oh, you could prove me wrong, boy, and say:
No, no, no, no, you don't know me -
'Cause lately all you show me, all you show me
Is how much you don't know me
And I just wanna know you, I just wanna know you
And I keep pushing you away
If you love it let it go, have you heard what the people say?
If you love it let it go, and it might come back to you someday
I loved it so I let it go, I loved you and I let you go
I loved you, and I let you get away
You said it didn't hurt one bit
Well, I wish it had hurt just a little bit,
So I'd know I could move you, baby
What's going on with you?
Would you tell me what's going on with you?
Give me something to lie next to, give me a fucking clue
Will we meet again?
Will we meet again?
Will we meet again?
Hey, I'm Ben. I make songs about the big hurts and quiet joys of being alive. My music is sensuous and big-hearted and rewards slow, intentional listening. I really hope it touches you.
